mington, in this county. At the
first score the horses got
away with McGinnis bit to

Typesetter kept him until the back
stretch was reached, when the last be-
came first, and kept the lead until he
passed under the wire as the winner,
Hazel second, and the other third !;

THE TRoTTING.
| Two trotting contests followed, one
of the 3-minute class horses, and the
other of the 2 :23 class. The heats
were to be sandwiched, so as to save
time, and the 3-minute race was called
first. Mr.. LaRue called repeatedly
for the drivers to come and weigh in,
but only one-Walters-put in an APP
pearance, whereupon all the others
were fined $40 each, to the great salts
faction of the bystanders, who go to
see some sport and are always impa-
tient Of delay.
| Out OF seven entries there were six
to start. These were Pendennis, b.
g. (5) by Sultan, dam Blonde by Te-
cumseil, owned by DR.. G. Edgar
Smith, Of this city. The driver was
Holland, colors scarlet and blue.
Victor, b. e. az, by Don Victor, dam
Flora by Pilot, owned by j. G. Den
man, of Norwalk, this county, and
driven by Irwin, colors grey and
black. Oliver j., b. &. (4), by Odd
Fellow, dam by Patchen, owned by l..
j. FELTON,, Santa Ana, this county,
driven by Walters, colors grey with
black cap. Belle Forrest, b. IN. az,
by Chief of Echos, dam by Ben Wade,
owned by William Smith, of this city.
driven by Dargett, colors white. Dan
ger, b. C. az, by Odd Fellow, dam by
Ethan Allen, owned by J. L. Garnsy.
Santa Ana. driven by Kennedy, colors
dark red; and Inca, Jr., by
Inca, dam by Black Warrior,
driven by Doc. Williams, colors,
grey, white cap. There was a great
deal OF trouble in getting a start with
these six horses, and as the afternoon
was wearing away the crowd became
a little anxious. Finally Irwin was
taken down from behind Victor, and
Walter Maben called to take the va
cant seat. After couple of trials the
horses went away in good shape, Pen
| dennis in the lead and all the rest in
| bunch. Inca Jr. soon fell behind
| and stayed there to the finish. Pen
dennis held the lead he got at the
stand until he passed under the wire
at the finish. Danger came in close
second. Oliver S. close up for the
third place, Victor fourth, Belle For
est fifth and Inca last. Time 2:39.
In all three heats OF this
race were run, and it will
be finished to-day at II NJ. In the
second heat it took u long time to get
a start. 1t is not easy to get six horses
off together, but it is likely that all
the time was taken which was needed.
LaRue admonished the drivers to get
their places under threat Of further
punishment, and at last good start
was made. By the way, MIR. LaRue
is particular to give the horses u fair
start and will not tap the bell until
such is gotten. Pendennis broke
badly just after going away. and he
lost so badly by this that he never re-
covered. From first place in the first
heat he went to sixth in the second.
Danger got mis- second place again,
Oliver j. his third as before,
and Victor e ot up the record by COM
| ing in fourth. But feature Of this heat
was the way Belle Forrest got the
| first place. The Echo mare broke
badly along the first quarter, but
about the halt mile post she began to
get on to the game, and to get down
to her work. She forged ahead, now
past one horse. then past another,
until as she came into the home
stretch with the race between her,
Danger and Oliver, she fairly flew
along the track and passed under the
wire safely first and as if she were
projected out of a cannon. Time. 2 :3S.
The third heat was in all the main
features - repetition OF the second.
The Echo mares performance
was as closely like the other
as if she intended it for an encore.
She. broke, fell behind, overhauled
one horse after another until she fairly
flew along the home stretch and took
the heat again in 2:39. Ii this mares
time for the last quarter was taken 1t
would prove to be phenomenal. Dan
ger got second place, as in both of
the other contests, but Oliver fell off
to fifth, his place being taken by Inca.
Victor did "the same thing over
again. for the third time, and PEN
dennis came in last after a bad break
at the start.
THE GREAT EVENT.
The race which all were interested
| in was the trot for the 2:23 class. The
entries embraced a string OF very
good horses and some good time
was looked for. The stakes were
5000, open to the world for horses of
this class-$35O to first, $50 to second,
$50 to third. OF thirteen entries
seven were scratched. The starters
were all horses whose names are
known to fame. First came l.. }.
Roses Stamboul. He is by Sultan, OF
course. His dam is Fleetwing. Val
entine is by Eerral's Clay, dam Queen.
owned by j. III. Kelly, San Bernar-
dino. Black Diamond is owned by
III. Hitchcock, Denver, Colorado. He
| is by Milton's Gold Dust, dam Lady
Taylor. Thapsin is the property of E.
H. Miller, Jr., Of Alameda, is 10y Ber-
lin, dam Lady Howard, and Harry
Velox, is owned by II. Barnes, of
Butte. M. T. Hitchcock and
Barnes drove their own horses.
Smith sat behind Thapsin, the
owner drove Valentine, and Wal
ter Maben held the ribbons
for Senator Roses horse. Stamboul,
Valentine, Thapsin, Velox, Black
Diamond was the order. The five
got away quickly with Stamboul US
ing all his advantage as the pole
from start to finish in 2:1S34. 1t was
a pretty race. The Rose colors kept
ahead, but any one who saw the
powerful reach of Hitchcock's big
| horse, or saw Thapsin getting down
to his work and staying with it for
all there was in it, could not help
hit realize the Los Angeles fellow
